Concert4aCause aka. mudball fest ~

This weekend was the Concert 4 a Cause at the Butternut Park ~ co-sponsored by the JPD Warrior Project and the Relay for Life Butternut Butterflies / American Cancer Society.

It's an annual fund raiser for the organizations ...
food / raffles / music / tractor-horse pull / minnow races / games / kickball tournament / horseshoe tournament ... a lot of fun for all ages. They had to cancel the tractor-horse pull because of the weather.

~ minnow races ~

you can blow on the minnow to make it go; but you can't touch it

One of the top entertainments this year was the kickball tournament. Take some enthusiastic players ... add a little rain on to an already rain soaked baseball field ... and it's a mud ball fest !! There was a LOT of slipping and sliding going on.

I don't think any of them minded the weather ... they were all having fun ...

Our team (the JPD Warriors) took second place ~

losing to the "clean team" the We've Got The Runs - yes ... that's the name of their team ...

the hand shakes and high fives amongst captains and players ...

a few nice "taps on the back" for a job well done ... "did you really think you were getting off that field in a clean shirt??"

does anybody have some shampoo?

~ the cousins on opposing teams ~

laughing their heads off

a little mud wrestling

Who's the dirty one now ??...

... looks like you "Catman"... lol

Oh oh ... I see trouble brewing amongst our crew ...

What are those girls up to ... besides laughing hysterically ...

I don't think anyone is going home clean ...

There was a lot of laughs and it was ton's of fun ... thankfully I was only a spectator :)

Looks like everyone had a blast for a great cause...those were the days., only I think we just used water?...the minnow races-what a cool idea. Did Bails win? She's so cute in her little blue dress;)BlessYourHearts

Proverbs 3:3-4

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 12so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Time For A Perspective!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well-preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -
"WOW!! -- What a Ride!"

In Wisconsin...

It's winter in Wisconsin
And the gentle breezes blow,
70 miles per hour at 52º below.
Oh, how I love Wisconsin
when the snow's up to your butt,
you take a breath of winter air -
your nose; it freezes shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful,
I guess I'll hang around.
I could never leave Wisconsin,
'Cause I'm frozen to the ground!

My Story ~

One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag or bitch...(that would be me) But that was a long time ago, and it was just that one day. THE END.
